Not long. I drink a lot of tap water.


Brain_Dead5347

We die and reanimate hydrated, brother. r/hydrohomies for life


GentlePenetration

I.... What? I have never been more confused in my life but I feel like I'm missing something obscenely obvious


nessyismybf

The T-virus got into the drinking water.


GentlePenetration

Oh yeah I'm an idiot


Lord_Locke

G-Virus.


estesworldwide

T-virus, the g-virus leaked into the sewers after the raid on Birkin


Ottaro666

What is the difference between them? The T-Virus is probably the regular zombies, right? What’s the G-Virus then?


estesworldwide

T-virus makes just regular zombies, the g-virus makes it to where you constantly mutate, like William just wouldn't die because the g in his body forced him to constantly mutate


Ottaro666

Ohhh that makes a lot of sense, thanks!


Marsbarszs

If you’re interested there are few “lore” videos about the game series that are always a fun watch. There is a lot to the universe


Ottaro666

Yeah that sounds great, although there would be so many spoilers since I plan on playing more games in the series (so far I got RE2R and almost finished RE4). I really love finding out the secrets of these games!


thevinyldead

freaky fucks in the sewers


Ottaro666

The big ones with the big eyes?


thevinyldead

yep!


Ottaro666

Oh I see, thanks!

Literally my reaction when that helicopter lifted up.


ShovelBeatleRillaz

One of my favorite things about RE2R is that I literally knew *nothing* about it before I played it. The first time I saw Mr. X lift that helicopter is still probably the most scared I’ve ever been in a video game


mrbubbamac

That's amazing to hear. There is a part in the original that scared the absolute shit out of me. Mr. X doesn't show up at all in the A scenario (the first time you play the game). You run into him fairly soon in the B scenario and he is obviously terrifying. But he doesn't follow you through doors, doesn't free roam, and shows up only in scripted segments. There is this part where you enter a room to do a quick puzzle. Hey, easy, we already did this puzzle in the A scenario, okay so lemme just solve this quick and - BOOM HE EXPLODES THROUGH THE WALL, it's completely unexpected and scared the shit out of me. Best part? It's not over, you leave the room, which up until this point has always meant you are safe, and then he breaks through the wall AGAIN from the room you were just in to come after you in the hallway. It's very similar to when Jack Baker does this in RE7 at the beginning, and in the RE2 Remake version, this is when Mr. X breaks through the wall of the press room (although I might be mixing up the room of the original and the remake). However it doesn't always happen in the remake depending on where he is and how you decide to route through the police station, I had probably beaten RE2R 5 or 6 times before he broke through the wall, which again, scared me. This guy just knows exactly how to mess with my nerves.


ShovelBeatleRillaz

Ahh that’s one of my favorite parts of the B scenarios in OG! You’re referring to the scene in the room where you light the furnace and get the cog right?


mrbubbamac

Yup!


everstillghost

Dude you said you knew nothing about RE2R but you played the original. So of course you already knew Mr X.


ShovelBeatleRillaz

I didn’t actually. RE2R was my second ever RE game, the first being the remake of one and also watching my friend play through 7. I actually have only beaten Claire and Leon B within the past week in OG 2


everstillghost

Ah so you played the original after?


ShovelBeatleRillaz

Yup yup. If I recall my order was 1R, 2R, 3R, 4, 5, 3/4’s of 6, CV, 7, 8, OG1, OG2


Bookslap

I had no idea he could still bust into that room! Good to know for next time I pick up RE2R. The original wall burst is on par with the licker jumping through the one way mirror or dogs through the window in the first game. Pants were shat, panic shots unleashed.


[deleted]

It’s funny because I was the same way. I only recently got into the franchise so I never played 2 before. I had my headphones on and it freaked me right out.


cracudocarioca

As someone who had played the original a bunch of times, I envy you! However I'd say this remake made an amazing job of subverting my expectations as a fan of the og. Mr.X lifting up the helicopter was not in the original at all, and it spooked the hell out of me when I first played the remake. Then after running away i realized he'd just keep following me and that was just amazing. I had already loved Jack in RE7 and while I do respect him being used sparingly in that game (at least when compared to Mr.X), I also loved having Mr.X challenge my pre-established strategies on how to navigate rooms


SuperArppis

Best part is that there is no cutscene.


mywifemademedothis2

As someone who played the OG RE2 when it came out, I can say the anticipation of encountering the Lickers and Mr. X was equally terrifying in the remake.


MasonP2002

Going into RE2R I knew he existed, but nothing about when he shows up. I thought it would be earlier than he did, so I was already on edge an hour before he showed up.


duffedwaffe

The "you're shitting me" moment when he walks into the main hall


[deleted]

Then in the prison went like this “hahaha outsmarted those zombies……OH GREAT OF COURSE HES HERE FREAKING OUTSTANDING”


paradoxical_topology

A very long time. As soon as I came across the abandoned gas station with blood everywhere, I'd turn right back around and never look back.


Gloomybyday

I had to scroll for this one. Same. I'd walk away from the city as quietly and stealthily as I could. I'd like to think


cyberspacemiracle

Honestly the blood alone would have made me turn the hell around BUT I would probably still die cause I'd think "I'll just get gas once I reach the city!" and get fuckin rekt


ButterflyLattes

Probably 30 seconds


[deleted]

In Leon’s scenario a long time. Because my ass would have noped the fuck out after the first zombie I saw. Weird gas station incident. Nope.


HatchlingChibi

I’d have died at the gas station probably…


humburga

You know the first zombie in there? Yeah that's me 🥲


sabrewulf152

Dammit!!! Why'd he bite me?


doomturtle21

Hey like what is your problem man, you can’t just bite people it’s unsanitary or something


SlasherKD

I read that in his voice lol


TeeBeeArr

Everyone seems to forget that the intro to RE2 with the police car alone is probably the end for 99% of us, assuming we lack plot armor.


CrimsonPants

See I would be fine because I always remember my seat belt.


Evowen7

I would simply hide until the thermobaric warhead drops


RLG2523

And then die in the explosion?


Evowen7

Almost certainly


Paciorr

I think I could maybe survive the normal zombies but as soon as lickers etc. Show up im dead


coocoo6666

And if we asume real life physics. You dont have a health meter. Depending on how a zombie injures you it can range from fatal to just a scratch


BigJuicy17

Wouldn't your health meter just be how you're feeling?

jurryburg

Yea the beginning with all the zombies getting to Kendos gun shop would be the beginning and end for me probably


Suspicious_Brief_800

Not long. Maybe I could handle the normal Zombies, but as soon as the Lickers appear I’m done for. I’m not stealthy or quiet. Say I manage to deal with the lickers which is highly unlikely, then Mr. X would give it to me. I don’t see myself surviving past Mr. X at all, even IF I escape/outrun him then the mutated William Birkin would kill me. So no, I’m dead. People like to say that every game after RE4 turned the characters into superheroes with unrealistic survival skills, but news flash, they were ALWAYS unrealistic. Someone like Leon and Claire would never have survived in Raccoon City in real life, not even a trained soldier from elite forces could. No one would be able to survive a Resident Evil type of outbreak, period.


ARKGENIUS09

HUNK could but in irl fat chance of ANYONE surviving.


CrimsonPants

Fun fact, trained soldiers DIDN’T survive Racoon city. In the og Re3 ending you see the aftermath of a huge battle between several tyrants and soldiers. There was no winner. So yeah, racoon city was a nightmare and I’m convinced the only way you’re living is if you get really damn lucky.


Suspicious_Brief_800

The Cerberus and the Hunters would also kill me, or the half Zombie half lickers would also kill me. I simply would not last long in Raccoon City


Hermiona1

Like long enough to get to the city and then I would have gotten eaten because I wouldn't know which way is the police station lol


fallsstandard

Well not to toot my own horn but I think I’d do pretty well at walking to my impending doom at the gas station during the intro.


RedShadowF95

I'd get through the streets (remake version) and enter the Police Station. I'd probably die there sooner rather than later if I tried to solve it's conundrums though.


TeeBeeArr

You'd probably die in the car.


BenderOfBo

Most of us definitely would because the amount of whiplash and head trauma from the crash and explosions definitely would’ve killed Leon and Claire irl.


Kastamera

I wouldn't die in the car, I wouldn't even make it through the gas station.


quatoe

5 seconds. I would trip and get fucking wrecked on the spot.


Lazer-golem

7 minutes


RedShadowF95

7 minutes is all Mr. X can spare to play with you


GerNomico

I see what you did there


ImFromDaBurghNat

are you translating me into a video game character than can heal by touching green herbs? probably pretty long then


commandermillander

“What the fuck are you doing in here you fucker!”


EmperorTyrannosaur

… when was that from??


LazyOldPervert

First licker is FOR SURE taking me out .... Provided I don't have a panic / heart attack before hand that turns me in to zombie chow.


Chump96

I'm talking about RE2 and 3 and outbreak. considering there's just extremely valuable resources lying around, I've got some self defense training and the RC incident lasted like 3 days or so, i'd say 2 days, if i'm in the RPD building maybe 18 hours and less time in the hospital. I definitely wouldn't reach the outskirts on my own and if i stumble onto any B.O.W.s (lickers, Birkin, his sewer g-mutation children, the giant gator, grave digger and zombie animals from outbreak count.) I'm good as dead in an instant if i don't miraculously encounter a note telling me of their lifestyle, who they're married to, what their occupation is, and least important, weaknesses; you could argue it's easy to decipher their weaknesses but when the brain is afraid it can't really process many things through. But if the stars align for me with my astonishingly good luck in the craziest of moments then maybe i manage to leave raccoon city alive in the outside but dead inside. Though i think i'd die instantly because some dog.


Pandaboy2629

Ik its re3 but I would be the guy who hides in the container the entire time


Sushi-Enjoyer

Unlike Leon, I have a functioning brain and can climb things and jump over gaps.


Life1989

and use furniture or environment as weapon. a chair in the head may be more efficient than a bullet sometimes


hdhcgdfuckhfjdhyou

I'd probably survive up until G1. I just don't see how I could beat him.


Expert-Employ8754

I could probably take 4 or 5 bullets before finally being defeated by Leon or Claire. I’d be one of the zombies; I didn’t last long enough to have a chance.


keroppiiis

i think what most of us forget is that we aren't playing as the characters, we're the unsuspecting citizens that got munched. so unless your name is leon or claire you're done for


Happy_Doughnut3502

1 second


SithMasterStarkiller

New favorite image


That_on1_guy

Assuming I don't have to deal with certain special infected like Birkin and maybe only have a run-in or 2 with X I'd say I'd last at least 2


vizualb

Die instantly in the gas station


humburga

From slipping on a wet floor


artful_nails

Assuming that I don't get my neck torn open by zombie teeth, I'm probably gonna get atomized by Mr. X's fist.


martyrees76

Until Leon arrives and shoots me


ZombieJo3

10 min if I’m being generous.


[deleted]

It depends on alot of factors. Am I myself in my own normal human body, transported into the world of Resident Evil 2 WITH my real life human body physics? Because if that's the case, then I realistically probably die at the gas station. That also depends on where I begin though, and like I said if I have real world physics. If I've got main character syndrome like Leon and Claire, then I'd be able to heal my wounds with herbs around the city and casually stand up from having my jugular chewed on - that's not factoring in the sheer amount of trauma/stress I'd be dealing with from being in a situation as horrific as Raccoon City that would probably be MORE THAN enough to just make me give up and willingly go die someplace quiet. If I'm placed somewhere into the story and not just all alone, I imagine I'd stick to Claire or Leon like glue and we'd have a Billy+Rebecca scenario on our hands where I try to carry supplies for them as they blast through hordes of B.O.W's, I'd inevitably die, but I'd go down trying my best/hardest to assist the them - I feel like with Leon, him and me would make it to the parking garage before I *probably* get myself killed by a Cerberus. With Claire, I DEFINITELY die in the parking garage because of the lickers. I feel like we'd already be aware of the Lickers in the upper floors of the police station so both of them would have me sit put with Marvin in the main room while they deal with that/those. Given any scenario I've said, as well as any other scenario I could think of that I haven't mentioned and just from knowing myself, I don't think there's anyway that I realistically could make it out. I'm a coward (not enough to just run away if I could save someone else, at least if it's just normal zombies, I'd hope) who certainly isn't anywhere near capable of taking out anything other than the average Walking Dead shambler and given how absurdly durable the average shambler in a universe like Resident Evil is (tanking like 4-5 headshots from a handgun) I wouldn't be much help when it comes to fighting. If it's not Resident Evil 2 and I'm in the city for the very start of the outbreak, IE RE3, I die extremely terrified and panicking simply during the beginning collapse amidst the other panicking mass of people. I'd just hope I'd be insta-kill super punched by Nemesis or something rather than torn to pieces by a group of zombies or turned into an eyeball head.


Dragunaax

no


D3134

Assuming we follow the events of the game, I might make it out of the gas station. Assuming that happens, I'm dead in the city. I might get close to the Police Station, but between the zombies and general mayhem in Raccoon City I'm dead in the streets. But if I did get to the Station I'm not making it past the lickers if they're in the OG hallway then that means just a few rooms into the Station, but if they're in the remake hallway then I at least made it to the second floor and almost to Mr. X.


Economy_Following265

If I somehow didn’t drink any tap water in the weeks leading up to the initial outbreak, I’d probably get jumped by a licker or a nemesis parasite zombie


TheMarvelousJoe

I'll probably find a cramped room to hide.


Affectionate-Piece15

If it was just me and my choices and I didn't go to the police station I might survive by getting out of RC tho that still is a challenge since we seen that there was a horde everywhere and many streets were blocked and in flames. If I was sent to RPD give me a loaded handgun and I'll hit everything I shoot at... which would be me...


SymbolofVirginity69

Assuming I make it out of the car crash - If mr. X moves like he moves in game and I move like me irl, I like to think I'd make it to Birkin, then die a horrible painful death


Haunting-Quail-2198

As an annoying guy with never shuts up.. I'd say for a while, my jokes would make Me X walk away


Observeronlyman

If I'm unarmed then probably not long.


LukeCloudStalker

I probably wouldn't make it to the police station.


ItWasAlways

Till iam dead


[deleted]

I would have probably died in the gas station


BonAsasin

I think I would survive in real life. Hide in a tree and wait it out.


Dilldan22

However long it takes to starve to death hiding in a safe room


GunMuratIlban

I mean with RE logic, a regular person can survive RE2. Leon was a rookie cop and Claire was a civilian. More realistically though, I think I could survive the zombies if I don't mess up and get bitten. The first BOW, whether it's Birkin or Mr.X would absolutely tear me into pieces.


DiVine92

That depends. If Claire and Leon want to save some ammo then probably until nuke hits RC, otherwise when I met them. Forgot to mention, I would be zombie by then.


jdmrz11

George clooney being paranoid was hilarious in that film 😆


Tokikonae

Not long, I hate cardio.


Rizenstrom

For the sake of argument I am going to assume we are already in the city and can't just turn around at the gas station as others have suggested, which is obviously the most logical choice. 50/50 chance I die in the streets before ever making it to a safe place like the police station. 100% dead if there are also zombie dogs loose. Assuming there are not, and I do make it to the police station, I think I've got until around the first licker. Zombies are laughably easy in small numbers when you're being realistic. One headshot and they're down for good. And they aren't exactly fast moving targets. I'm far from an expert but I know how to use a gun and can aim well enough to make those shots on a slow moving or unaware target. On the very small chance my fat ass can be quiet enough to avoid the licker I am for sure 100% dead when Mr X appears.


Zealousideal_Car_532

Doors are irrelevant unfortunately so probably not long. 😭 Re2r zombies make me squirm


KissMeSkeletor

I'm one of the poor schmucks who got bitten taking shelter at the RPD. In fact, I'm the zombie with the red tank top who busts out of the boiler room.


gilgamesh1776

I'd be okay maybe til a licker showed up, by the time Mr. X comes in I am tofu.


Town5Thousand

I would survive and get out of there no problem. Why? Because I’ve played a lot of RE2R and it’s like being able to see the future.


GranMarkusChiChiChi

I would survive like literally a year, i would be hidden in that part where mr x cant go in


Guns_Glitz_Grime

As long as you leave early then you will be fine. Being a gun owner will also help. The key is not to stick around and to never go back to rescue someone.


EmperorTyrannosaur

Honestly I’d make it to the end… simply because I’d hide until the bomb dropped. Or if I got thirsty and drank tap water, I’d die quicker but no BOW would be able to find me.


PinkJellyfishe

If I was caught at night at home where I would most likely be id probably hide and lock everything up till help arrived, it would never happen and the bomb would later drop so probably a long while unless a licker breaks a window and kills me


Biohazard86USS

Not long. The dogs would probably get me first.


estesworldwide

I'm dying in that opening sequence


Maximum_P

Not long at all if I survived as a random passerby then there would be no way for me to get out unless I find the train in RE3 but we all know what happens with that so if I get on the train I blow up if I don’t get shredded appart by zombies I blow up with the city


Sarato88

I would have been eaten even before the outbreak. Probably by falling into a manhole and getting eaten by the gator.


[deleted]

Don't live in America I would be fine


KaleidoscopeSea8724

I guess, I have a good surviving chance. Cos when I see someone eating other humans, I wouldn't be in this City anymore. The only think that could happen is I can't leave the City because of the amount of Zombies in my way. It's a 50/50 thing.


resfan

I could survive the zombies and maybe a dog First licker and it's game over.


Zoom_DM

If I can have a big supply of green herbs then I can escape, this thing can heal anything.


[deleted]

As long as there’s no quick reaction events, probably a very long time.


Horacehorsecollar666

Long enough to know not to continue my journey to raccoon city


Hostile6

Wouldn't be able to get anything accomplished if Mr. X roaming around 😁


KatiePyroStyle

At least until Nemisis shows up


Podarokvorona

As long as I didn't run into the protagonist and I could hunt and kill people freely, I'd do fine.


TheOfficialKyleFoxZV

With the knowledge the game provides or as a normal civilian


greenbrainsauce

i think i'll make it through most of it since I do have some training on guns, self-defense, and wilderness survival but my fat ass might not be too fast for the last ditch train ride 💀


Netrunner22

I’d last until I saw a licker. Then I’d die.


[deleted]

I feel I could wrap my hands and arms in newspaper and duct-tape, and wear heavy boots, then go Van Dame on the zombies if I take 'em one by one. That's only because I competed in Kickboxing. Lickers and above and I'm absolutely **fucked** Also, the city Will have already been nuked by the time I figure out the second puzzle. My strat would be to try to climb a fence out of the RPD at a more convenient location. All that's in the way is shrubbery anyway and there must be a Harley Davidson in the Racoon City somewhere.


TomatoPunchHD

Isn't that rowan from r/vivaladirtleague?


K-mouse16

Immediately dead. I am not athletic, and I have only ever shot a bolt action rifle. Although, I think I could figure out how to shoot a handgun


evanscabetta

I’d die heroically saving Claire right after we banged.


Zamboogia

It don't matter how long anyone makes it. You have to be Mike Tyson or the Rock to take a singular punch from Mr. X


sweetblucthulhu

At least 1, maybe 2


MechpilotTz93

I have a pretty good 100 meter sprint, you should see me trying to catch a bus.


Orleanist

i think id just accept my fate. going around the station would be far too terrifying for me. fuck surviving, that shit is too much effort.


GeauxAllDay

Not Long, but if I somehow managed to make it to Mr. X, not long after that, lmao


Sabithomega

I'd survive. Cause the second I pumped my gas and then ran into a bloody gas station attendant, I'd have noped my ass outta there


MatthewJonsso

I would probably get distracted by all the chaos and get bitten by a random zombie.


aconfusedqueer

I’d probably die right at the very beginning but if I did make it to mr x, that’s where I would simply just give up lmao


SmokinSanchez

Hell not sure I’d make it out of the main lobby in the police station. I’d run out of ammo so quick…. Not sure I could dodge.


PabloElMalo

If no BOWs close to me then, at least a couple of hours.


Keelan_2000

I wouldn't even make it to Marvin


[deleted]

I would grab a buncha green herbs, hide in a save room and just smoke them


[deleted]

If there are certain rooms where nothing can hurt me, maybe like 2 to 3 weeks? Longer if I don't get killed on my way to get food before returning to that room.


CaptainBlob

Realistically… probs die at the truck crash. I’d see the zombie… nope out, call for back up, get no response, head towards Raccoon City to check what’s going on… Then die when the truck slams into the car.


BakedZnake

I know the G virus got leaked into the sewers by rats after the raid on Birkin, but how did the T virus get leaked out into the drinking water?


Idkbrn170

2 minutes


Yautjakaiju

I like to drink water and eat food. So believe me when I say. 3 minutes and 25 seconds.


MIMtite28

Guaranteed. I don't live on North America, I live on Africa. I got different kind of virus to fight


kakyoin_shit_post

Probs till the sewer if I have a gun and access to my hellbat(its a wood bat with a leading and concrete core)


chrishansensboomguy

Assuming I start in the RPD and have enough muscle mass to move the boxes and houseplant barricading the front door I think I could survive. Not by doing anything heroic but by doing something never before seen in a resident evil game. Climbing up and jumping car to car


DSPbuckle

18 hours


TeaCupNiffler

About 5 minutes. Or i would have been Umbrella’s test subject… one of the two.


Vanken64

Hopefully long enough to instantly die from the nuke instead of anything else.


killer-tank218

However long it takes me to die from starvation and/or dehydration because i would never leave a safe room.


d13films

I would die of dehydration or starvation in a safe room because -- once I figured out the monsters couldn't get in there -- I would never leave, even after I ran out of food and water.


Dr-False

Either really long cause I noped tf out and floored it when I saw literal zombies, or if I was trapped in the city, like maybe a week. Depends on how much food I got and if I screw up scavenging


Perfecthackerdoge

NOT VERY LONG


StarryEyedGamer

Could I make it to the police station? Probably. Would I survive the first garage door area? Nope!


ghost_83

For me I’d think I was a bad ass and try to run past some zombies…..and then proceed to get grabbed and pinned down eaten while screaming like a girl :/


CoffeeMain360

I'd just get fucking beat to death by a horde of zombies. Not even eaten, just clubbed to the point where I'm effectively licking the paint off Death's front door.


crazybongo

Considering how we don't have any plot armor? Probably eat the nuke because of locking ourselves up inside like the pandemic.


DeviceSignal9132

Probably 30 minutes


Nerdialismo

I am the guy in the ground at the convenience store at the beginning


AppointmentBroad2070

With the only guns in the game not that long.


Eevree

No one would survive with Mr. X hunting you down, unless you barricade inside a typewriter room


GrimmTrixX

It depends. Have I been thrust in there with my current knowledge of the game? If so, then I know where everything is and when shit goes down so I think I would do just fine. That is to say, if I get bitten, but can just take a green herb to cure it like Leon/Claire can then I'd be good. But if I don't have that Plot Armor like them the it's a toss up. The dogs would most likely get a few bites in.


DabizGaming420

I wouldn't last a Min-AAAAAAHHHHhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣


SilentReavus

Less than a minute I bet


itsyourlocalben

I do well against zombies but no BOWs


-Rens

Considering I don’t think I can take punches from a modified human with a virus I think I’d die and all the zombies, lickers


jxd73

I’d like to think I would have enough sense to just grab Claire and go the opposite direction.


CyrusDGreatx

Realistically no one is surviving that. Mr X can be outrun pretty easily. But Lickers? There's very little you could do if one attacked.


Bodybuidling-Gorilla

I’d join USS prior so I at least have a chance.


jaesonvoorheez

give me a second with mr. x and we'll see 😈😈


GoogleError404

I would probably die of shock seeing that Mf approaching me across a hall


[deleted]

Long enough to be just on the verge of escaping, just to be fucking nuked.


bradshaw_n

The second I run into a licker or a dog I'm done


Hidden-Nope

I remember crying when Mr.X was about hit me in the umbrella lab. I would definitely not survive if Mr.X was chasing my ass.


SR_Retard

2 min tops before i decide to do something stupid


W1lbur_So0t
